The Community Foundation for MetroWest is the community foundation that improves the quality of life in over 30
MetroWest cities and towns—especially for our most vulnerable neighbors. Since 1995 we have been providing
financial and educational resources to local nonprofit organizations, sharing essential data about the region to
inform decisions, and partnering with donors to help guide and align their giving with the areas of greatest need in
the community.
We support three key constituents: nonprofit organizations, individual donors, and businesses—in a variety of ways
targeted to their specific needs. All of this enables the Foundation to be the go-to resource, and the hub for
philanthropy and giving in our region.
